Friends:

Check the website http://www.nutrinews.com/public/home/index.cfm
for a counter-piece against the GM food as I reproduce the pro-GM food
article below. There is also a forum on the subject at this site.
The opposing article has many sweeping statements and gross distorsion
of truth. I
suggest you read the article on the site and let your voice be heard
on the issue at the forum,

[from AVENTIS TO SELL Wednesday Nov 15 (Reuters)]

Aventis may find it tough to get a good price for the business, with
the sentiment towards the sector soured by slack demand from a depressed
farm sector and mounting public concerns about genetically modified (GM)
produce.

The GM row was reignited by the recent discovery of StarLink corn, approved
for animal feed, in consumer foods in the U.S., sparking worries about
possible allergic reactions and leaving Aventis vulnerable to liability
claims.

Syngenta's debut has not been auspicious. The stock floated on Monday
but fell below an already low the issue price, reflecting widespread selling
by fund managers.
